To alLwwm it ma/y:lierre-em:y Be it known that I ,BEUIAH L. HENRY, a citizen of the United States, residin at Charlotte, in the county of Mecklenur and State of North Carolina, haveinvente new and useful Improvements inIcee-Cream Freezers, f which the following is *a specig l g 'l rapld the creun'i.

The top of 'I the .receptaclejisprovided -with a gasket 32 einst.` which. the cover member'33 is adaptactuating 'mechani'sxnSf which inclu es a perlend of thel'eceptacle 31. The support 6 is provided with a reduced end 39 which `fe "The dasl'lerfis-driven b the which entends inwardly from the receptacle 31. This construct-ion is such that the dasher operating mechanism can be readily removed from the freezer when it is desired to lift the freezing vessel 41 from the vacuum Walled vessel.

Vvhen the device is used as a storing receptacle it is desirable, for the purpose of excluding the outside air from the ice chamber, to provide a plug or cover such as shovvn in vFig. 2 of the drawings. This plug is of ring form and its external and internal surfaces are beveled and provided with gaskets 43 and elf-f respectively to t against the beveled surfaces 45 and-46 re s})ectii*ely, on the vacuum Walled vesseland freezing can respectively. The plug or cover is provided with suitable handles 47,'

whereby the cover can be readily lifted from the device ivhen desired. From the construction it iv'ill be seen that the air-.Will positively be excluded from entering the refrigerant chamber when the cover of the vaouunrvvalled vessel is open for the purpose of removing the Vice cream from the vessel 41.

l. In an ice cream freezer, an insulated vessel, an insulated cover therefor, inner and outerA gaskets disposed in di'erent planes Copies of this patentmay be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents, Washington, I). C.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
